Summary

Lincoln School for the Arts in Marrero, LA, serves 467 students in grades PK-8 within the Jefferson Parish school district, where a high percentage of families (88.44%) qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the school's overall state ranking has placed it in the bottom 10-30% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past decade, it has a remarkable and unique strength: exceptional performance in upper-grade English Language Arts (ELA). In the 2025-2026 school year, 73% of 7th and 8th graders were proficient in ELA, outperforming both the district and state averages, and a perfect 100% of students scored proficient on the English I End-of-Course exam—far exceeding nearby schools like Congetta Trippe Janet Elementary School (67% English I proficiency) and Harry S Truman School (96% English I proficiency).

This success in ELA, however, is not mirrored in other subjects. Overall proficiency in Mathematics (41%) and Social Studies (38%) lags significantly behind the district (54% and 50%) and state (62% and 55%), creating a "J-curve" profile where the school excels in one area but struggles in others. This pattern is distinct from nearby schools like Congetta Trippe Janet, which performs above district averages across all subjects. Additionally, a persistent gender achievement gap exists: female students rank in the 15th percentile statewide, while male students rank in the 6th percentile, suggesting the school is more effective at serving its female students.

Chronic absenteeism is a growing concern, rising from 16.1% in 2021-2022 to 23.4% in 2024-2025, which is notably higher than similar nearby schools like Laureate Academy Charter School (8.6%) and Congetta Trippe Janet (12.6%). This likely contributes to the school's overall low performance in math and social studies. Despite these challenges, Lincoln School for the Arts stands out as a fascinating case study among its immediate peers—Judge Lionel R. Collins Elementary School and Isaac G Joseph Elementary School—as the only one with a clear, high-performing pocket of excellence in upper-grade ELA, offering a potential blueprint for improvement across the entire school.
